So yea... you know how you can highlight text on any web page and right click it and click on search on web and it opens a new tab with a google search...

I need that option in ie7... any suggestions? thanks

Tried that out.. almost exactly what I need except that it opens it in a new window rather than a new tab... maybe its because I'm using Windows Vista.. doh... thanks for the tip anyway,

anyone else have any suggestions?

Highlight word... CNTL-C, CNTL-F, CNTL-V, ENTER

Done! Works in many programs...

Oh... you want a GOOGLE search... well, modify slightly: homepage is Google to start:

Highlight word... CNTL-C, CNTL-T, ALT-HOME, CNTL-V, ENTER

highlight + 9 keyboard buttons != 3 clicks

But it's usually much quicker. If you want to get things done quickly, use the keyboard only.
